KLIS Full K12 Academics Curriculum System – Personalized Small-Class International Education

Curriculum System: Integrating Chinese and Western Approaches and Meeting the Diverse Needs of International Families.

More than just correct answers.
In the past, it was simply good enough for a student to come up with the correct answer. A smart enough student could look up the answer from a different source, write it down, and get their grade. With information access at its highest levels in history, the KLIS curriculum forces students to do more than find the correct answer. They must also be able to show how they arrived at their specific answer and then be able to appropriately defend it.

KLIS firmly believes that “every student is unique,”and to this end, has created a highly personalized learning eco-system. At the middle school level, the“one schedule per student" system allows students to freely choose courses suited to their interests andabilities. Small class sizes (teacher-student ratio of 1:4)ensure targeted guidance, and the college counseling team provides 1-on-1 career planning. The school further empowers students to become confident, purposeful individuals through home-school interactions like the “Principal Morning Talking” and “Career Day Lectures," alongside an inclusive campus culture.

University counselling & career planning
KLIS has established a special guidance center for further studies. Guidance includes helping students plan their studies and career goals, and guides students during their progress (applying to universities). including but not limited to:
● Admission Guidance Course
● Parents' Meeting for Guidance
● One-to-one progression planning
● Professional day/week
● Invite university admissions officers to visit
● University application guidance
● Submit official application materials

Measures of Academic Progress
MAP is a computer-adaptive test. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. MAP challenges top performers without overwhelming students whose skills are below grade level. Every child takes a MAP test that is uniquely their own.
